Upcoming Cloud Immersion sessions

Build real world data management solutions

During this live, online, hands-on learning experience, built in an Azure environment, you will create robust, mission critical environments supporting automatic failover (to on-premises and to the cloud) and high availability with SQL Server 2017. Working together with the facilitator and other attendees, you will learn to use Azure Data Services (Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Data Warehouse) to build out a cloud-based, scaled-out database capable of processing massive volumes of data, both relational and non-relational.

This unique experience is designed for you to get your hands-on SQL Server and Azure Data Services so you can understand how they will help your business to be more efficient.

Create Serverless Applications with Microsoft Azure

Join us for this live, facilitator-led immersive experience where you will learn how to build serverless architectures leveraging Azure functions to execute server-side logic. Experience hands-on how Azure functions enable the creation of event driven, compute-on-demand systems that can be triggered by various external events. You will also learn how to chain functions together through bindings to declare the data sources to read and write, and let Azure Functions take care of the rest.

Getting started with Azure DevOps & Containers

Join us for this live, facilitator-led immersive experience where you will learn how Microsoft Azure DevOps can help you release higher quality, well tested applications, on a shorter release cycles.
